tom silver Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 Well it has been over one year waiting for the tax stamp and finally ATF passed me. I picked up my M6 about 2 hours ago. Is there any suggestions that anyone can give me before I start shooting it? Any tips on cleaning it etc will be appreciated. Thanks Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalbert Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 Congratulations! Looks like a nice one. My suggestion is to get a deep chamber flag for it, for when you are at the range. It has a deep chamber that is somewhat difficult to visibly verify as empty. David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 Very nice! Congrats. I have #8 from that lot. I don't recall if I ever knew where these came from? Wonder if the ser. # are consecutive in line with the dept markings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live on a 40 acre mountain forrest and I have a good place to shoot. Can you send me a link to what type of flag I should get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess either a prison or police or sheriff's office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnsonlmg41 Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 It actually is. That is quite interesting. I'll have to check the Macman book this weekend. Mine came with a case as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting for a Thompson that is at the one year mark. The bright side is it appreciated in value in that years time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auto machine guns are super high priced now. UZI's that were selling for 10 to 13K are now 20K. Really kind of nuts. ATF had my docs by April 3rd and yesterday I got my tax stamp. You should be approved real soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
